Back to the Roots! VW UP! GTI & Mods! // Nürburgring 

I saw UP GTI and thought it was mighty car mods 💀 I’m glad Misha shows loves to the nugget hatchbacks 🙏🏼

Glad you are safe after the crash

Damn TC kicks really in at every corner. Wonder why Volkswagen chose to do it this way that you can't turn it off in a sporty version of the car.

JBS in the UK can now put in a switch in for the traction control on/off dont know how well it works but but could be handy I think it's around £180 last time I checked

Wow, that sounds like an incredibly intense experience! I’m really glad to hear that you and your passenger are okay after such a serious crash. Huge thanks to BMW engineers for building such a safe car. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong on the track, even with the best preparations. Kudos to the emergency personnel and the hospital staff for their quick response and care. And a special shoutout to the random guy who helped out with water instead of posting insensitive footage. Wishing you both a speedy recovery!

Carmrade, Get well Misha! Glad you're okay!

he can deactivate traction control : just delete the fuse :)

i give this one a thumbs UP!

That was the definition of "Tell me you're a wicked fast driver, without saying you're a wicked fast driver". Not overtaken until the very end!! Fantastic!! Hopefully I get to see the outside view of the UP passing the bike and Saab after Brunnchen 😍

Try mine once this year! Traction can be switched off, makes a LOT of a difference😉

In Brazil VW UP has a legion of fans. some can safely make this same engine reach more than 300 hp.

RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG PART 2 Thank god your ok misha after that bmw crash

There's a solution to turn off TC by adding an additional switch. A retrofit friend of mine sells the service for around €200 including the switch and stuff. Great mod to add to this little beast and any other Up! owner for that matter.

Just read your post about the recent crash in the M4. Glad to know that you and the passenger are alright.

This vid give me real flashbacks. The first time I saw you wasn't on this channel but on Shmee150's, where you UPset a red Fiat iykyk jajajaja. And since then nurburgring became one of my favourite places in the world and I hope to make it there one day with my own car.

You guys need get to know the Up Tsi from TorkOne here in Brazil. Specifically the TR1 with 300whp

That 3 cylinder VW UP! sounds amazing😍

10:17 "...no one is passing us ". The green KIA behind you is doing a dam fine job

I like small hatches, wish we had the UP gti in the states. Not being able to turn the traction control off really hurts a car designed for enthusiasts tho. with like 109hp, it really doesnt even need traction control and it would prevent me (and probably many others) from actually buying it.

There is a way to deactivate it on jetta's but idk on this one... (ignition on, put the hazerds then press the gas pedal 5 times and then it will do a sound. So you now start the engine and remove the hazards.)

Here’s to a swift recovery (mental as well as physical) for all involved in the crash today. We are all with you Misha.

I love this car in OG format also, so much fun to drive!

it should be possible to get rid of traction control with VCDS, maybe without button but still. should be possible, check the ABS module, and or maybe there are even custom wire looms with a button. and if you are just want to do the nasty way and get the full experience :D just pull the ABS relay / fuse. BUT do this yea at your own risk.

seeing the traction control causing you to lose traction mid corner is hilarious.

This is making me want to take my stock UP GTi round. Just worried about the other drivers around.

enjoyed that more than some 500bhp... talk about needing to carry momentum.... still 130mph in a small car must feel quick, owner was also really cool

in Brazil, we get more than 300whp from these engines, there is one in question that has 350whp, 1.0. These engines are incredible.

The engine sounds nice

Nothink is better then 1.0 turbo car 😂 thanks for this! Very funny!😂😂🎉

So impressive how u manage to go so fast in a "normal"car. Really cool to see!

The best hypercar in Brazil!

Here in India we never got UP GTI but we got this same engine in POLO with same 6 speed manual and there is no Traction control shenanigans.. Pure Raw power and wheel spins..

"let's see if we can UP-set someone..." That's the humor we like!! Haha

Looks like the blow off doesnt work well after you shifting you have a looot of time before you get boost again.

I wish we had the UP here in the US, specially the TSI ones (I love the GTI)

Cool car!

Can't you disable the traction control (and ABS) by removing one of the ABS rings on the front? It works on Peugeot's. 😅 Edit: Unplugging the fuse might also work as other are suggesting.

Get well Misha!

Tack!

I salute anything even attempting to go fast with a hood/bonnet that small, lookit the little rascal go!

Bro popping the hood like he 2JZ swapped it, I like that little can, I'd buy one

The UP GTI's weight and power are very like that of the original Golf GTI.

Love to see how it handles in the ring

pull the fuse

If you remove the ABS fuse the TC will turn off

LF perfomance does these high revving litre tsi up to 300whp, could have been a nice slayer. I wonder if they could handle the oil temps on the ring :D

It's a shame that you can't turn off ESP and TC in the GTI. PS I have e-up! and has problems with traction whenever I try to quickly join traffic from a cross road and TC aditional slowdawn car. Despite my liking for this car, I would now choose the Smart EQ Forfour with RWD.

Came to Brazil, Misha. Here, we have vw ups with 300cv

The engine sound🥰

😂🤣🤣...@ 5:11 you have soo much time to think!!

Forged BOV fully hectic 🤘

when I saw Saab... Misha, you have to do the Saab content with Turbo X 2,8 V6 and old 900 2,0t 185hp version. It would be great and special...

Clicked so fast for this one🥰🥰🥰🥰

It got to 200 km/h quite easiley on the flats, smaller cars rarely seems capable of that.

Saw your post in community it was not your day. Get well soon brother

TC takes the fun out

I love my Up TSI in Brazil!

Where are the new tuned swift sports at? Need to get one on the channel to see the performance.

Mi piace quest'auto!!Dice sono piccolina ma ti faccio divertire!!E il traction control: Cosa stai facendo pazzo!!??😅😅😂

Shame of the interfering esp. I love the sound of those 1 litre triples, had one in a ateca.

Seeing you drive a small car like this is Up!lifting

The best example of slow is fast that I have ever seen.

Very interesting to see 👍Absolutely my thoughts about my car. " why?" It makes no sense to me. You want to turn and the car goes straight, because the esp is hammering in. This is not fun. It is dangerous. On the other hand i'm asking myself, if the car would be significantly faster with the esp turned off.

this is a road beast well tunned

MCM send their regards. Would be curious to see their converted UP! do a lap to see how it compares.

That must be one hell of a flywheel if the clutch engaging is enough to activate TC ...

looks fun driving a small car that fast!

Please tell him to get rid of the 4d plates.. it makes him come across as a bell end

Nice one

Love to see a stage 3 1.0 tsi haha.

That TC just kicks in when ever it wants. Definitely isn’t a safe thing to happen.

VW with its traction control allmost cost my friends Golf R. When into a corner and and coming out of it i accelerated hard en the it kick in and the side walk was coming closer and closer no power to pul me out of it and he began to stress bc hy told me his rims was neer the huge side walk and at that stage I did know that of you push the botton for the traction-control it dont do much. Luckily my speed entering the corner was slow ( not doing race line or fast in and slow out, myne was fast slow in oky not so slow but slow enough bc it is 4 motion so the gti will only go strait forward. ) he told my his assholl was opening and closing at te same time. Then the power came back and it was not damage . So VW you only get FWD and then so when its slipping back weel drive ( that is nou for the Tiguan)

Meu carro favorito na minha pista favorita ❤❤ obg Sr 🤟

Have you ever driven an Acura tl? More specific 04-09

where can i make my up gti more like this... in germany

Is that noise into some medium speed corners rubbing?

search online, to switch off vw up TCS key on hazard light on gas padel 5 times start engine don't know will it helps

Popping the hood in a RHD car on the left? Huh. Ref: 00:48

UP! GTI FTW

RU-vid had unsubscribed me, i resubscribed.

The OG hot hatch! HELLL YEAHHHHHHHHH!

Love it.

Good video

Wonder if you can program that out easily.

@Mightycarmods punching the air right now 😂😂

Terug naar de Sub7UP vibes!

Миша нереальный красавчик🎉🎉🎉

Brilliant to see an Up on track. They are such lovely wee cars - and that's a really nice example. It is ironic you can go out in Europe and buy a Lamborghini SUV, but no longer a car like an Up. Nonsensical.

I wonder, I can hear the same crunching noises from, i think, rear suspension, that I also hear on my wife's Seat Mii when in higher G corners. Is it something, someone could tell me how to get rid off or is it the nature of that beast? 😉🤣

Misha cruising😄🤙🏻🤙🏻

Just pull the traction fuse the ABS might be linked in with it but man of your talent can deal with it

Aí sim 🇧🇷

jeeez this thing is painfully slow. i don't get why an rs3 can have 400hp but an up has to have a shitty 1.0 3 cylinder. this car with a 4 cylinder 1.4 turbo and 150hp would've been the hot hatch we've been missing for 20+ years

wth , right handed car and u open the bonnet from the left side?!

ahahhahahaha esse carro aki no brasil e o terror de varios ! kkk

Nice! mini cars class! try find more mini class car!?

Nice car

The second to third ratio difference is way too big for a "GTi".

I have to say that the video surprised me. I'm also not used to seeing Misha drive a "normal" vehicle (apart from the disastrous dynamic control). Perhaps because it is a VW Up, even if it is a GTi, it does not allow you to disconnect it due to the type of customer who would buy it (Personal opinion). Thanks to both of you.

What wheels are those? those look nice
